Levy Ethics Challenge Launches: Donate Today for 100K

Monday, May. 19, 2014

We are thrilled to announce the first ever Levy Ethics Challenge. Dick and Sue Levy, longtime friends of the Ethics Center, have made a $100,000 Challenge to match -- dollar for dollar -- all gifts to the Ethics Center through June 30th until the challenge is met. As of May 19, $22,452 has already been donated by Ethics Center supporters and friends. We hope you’ll join them and leverage the maximum impact from your gift!

"Susie and I believe in promoting ethical behavior in every aspect of life, from the classroom to the boardroom to the hospital room," Dick said. "That's why I serve as Advisory Board chair at the Ethics Center, and that's why we decided to do this challenge. We believe that, by leveraging support from like-minded people, our gifts will have a much greater impact."

How can you help?
Your gift will empower the Ethics Center to:

* Bring great speakers from around the globe who illuminate current issues in ethics. So far this year, gifts from donors enabled us to present over 30 speakers and panelists. Contributions also helped us to host His Holiness the Dalai Lama in February, placing the Ethics Center in not only the local, but also the national and international spotlight.

* Increase our online presence. This year, over 2.8 million people visited our website for guidance in solving ethical issues and for materials to teach ethics to students of all ages. Another 2,000 signed up for our Massive Open Online Courses in business ethics, and we look forward to expanding even further.

* Provide internships and fellowships in health care ethics, environmental ethics, business ethics, and more. We have over 240 alumni of these programs, who tell us that their experience provided them with the knowledge and the courage to make ethical decisions in all aspects of their lives.

After you’ve made your online donation, follow @mcaenews on Twitter and Like us on Facebook. Tweet or Share on Facebook a photo of you and your friends with the tag: #markkulaethicschallenge, and you become part of the campaign. Your photo will be included in our grand finale “social” thank you collage, a perfect souvenir to keep and share, and a cool surprise for Dick and Sue Levy to show our thanks. Go for it!
